The reversed reverb sounds even better, if you create it with just the first note (or syllable for vocals) of the new phrase. That way the reverb has the same sonic structure like the element being played right afterwards. This really sounds like the reverb is introducing the new element, much more coherent than putting an unrelated reverb tail in front of it.
When I was a kid, we would have to flip the tape upside down, print the reverb to tape, and then flip it back the right way. Pain in the ass, but the time alignment was always perfect.
I'm so happy to live in the world of music. One of my teachers did production and film scoring in the 80's and we've had lots of conversations about how much easier the tech is today. Lower barrier to entry but it still takes musical skill - just knowing the tech is a small piece of it
I actually had a track I knew needed transitions so saved this video to watch later as 'homework' bfr working on that track. Awesome content as always!!
19:37 - this was the best moment of the entire video. Seeing that spark in your eye because your spirits connected with the beauty of your craft. That Joy right there. That’s what its about. Thank you so much for remionding me. Needed to see that. Also thank you for this very educational video. I feel very refreshed by your passion my guy.
Wow! Some of those things you said in there, Nathan, blew my mind. Some of them even gave me confirmation of what I've been noticing and wondering about in my music! Thank you so much for doing this video, Nathan! And by the way, that intro was great. Right after watching that intro two times, I was like, "I'm definitely subscribing." You hooked me right into the video. And got me to subscribe even before I watched the main part of the video! Great job! Oh, and furthermore, that arrangement section--so good; I'm definitely going to do what you said! :) -Christopher Sirard
Thank you so much I've been mixing for 2 years and hit a learning wall just recently and it's been very hard to get back in with these tips I feel like I have more options on what I can do with my mix ! Great video
I can't find my mopey comment in the sea, but I did actually uninstall and reinstall and now the fade tool function works - for anyone suffering the same issue
Another awesome way to transition is to introduce an element (for example lead synth in a drop/chorus) by having it play a few beats before, basically adding a pre-melody. Drum fills work too! _also, didn't you have like 10k subs a couple months ago? your channel grew up so fast and that's amazing!!! been subscribed since then_
Hi Nathan. Just wanted to say I am a new subscriber and love your content. For a bedroom producer like me this is golden. Your video where you talk about how producers are watching mix tutorials before knowing how produce made me chuckle because that's exactly the misstep I took. I also love how you constantly emphasize sound selection. Would you mind digging deeper into that? I've bought a lot of plugin synths that comprise the 'must haves' in the production world today but still have trouble at times finding the right sound which kills the creative flow. Are there plugins you recommend? Or is there a way to structure the sounds in those plugins to enable a quicker flow? Thank you.
So glad this popped up in my recommended feed; I'm always looking to refine my production skills! Checked out your video on recording string players and making a riser using violin/viola!
I agree with most of your vids (for such a young guy you have good insight) esp. that you focus on arrangement and songwriting, many other channels just promote to buy new plugs or tell "secret" mixing tipps, but if the song itself is shit, this does not help...(I meant mostly the why your productions suck and why you do not finish tracks videos - from my experience you identified the problems most have there and it is also MOSTLY not gear or mix related)
Hey Nathan, I’ve been following your channel for the past couple of months. Really helpful video as always. Great content man. Could you tell me more about your Mac specs? I’m frequently getting the system overload error.
Awesome! Thanks for that. I have a MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM and an external drive for sample libraries. Most issues are gonna be not enough RAM or external drive that's too slow. SSDs are best for external
While the reverse audio and riser sound great in the context of your audio examples, I can’t help but think it is going to date the production. Like even 10 years later we’re going to hear them and think “lol, that sounds so like 2020 cheese”
This was very helpful and useful What happened to programming a drum. Fill I use risers but never thought about using reverb and reverse process For sure as a musician we make transitions in the band by hitting differently up to the chorus
Hi Nathan! I’m curious to know what screen recording software you use to get clear crispy audio into your screen recording software. I also make similar videos and have a hard time with getting the best audio.
I use software called iShowUInstant. They have their own audio driver called SWB. I have a multi-output setup so that my output splits to the SWB (where daw Audio is captured) but also for my interface so I can still hear it. Hope that helps! Took me forever to find it but it's been a life saver for me

Wait so nobody's talking about the video transitions in the beginning... LOL love your energy Nathan
THERE IT IS!!!!!
@@NathanJamesLarsen I wish I could do that every time I waltzed into my room XD
I actually had a track I knew needed transitions so saved this video to watch later as 'homework' bfr working on that track. Awesome content as always!!
yeah
instaBlaster
That vocal tip is so good. Sound so solid and really makes the transition so much more dynamic
Love it! And yes love doing that!
It’s not only learning LPro stuff, it’s also absorbing your inspiration. Thank you! Ranking it for myself as the best channel to learn LPro
Me sitting in my studio struggling with a transition....Then I see this.....Thank you!
😱😱😎😎👏👏 yessss!
I love those moments when we stumble on that very one specific technique topic that helps the project move along as we hear it in our minds.
This is one of the most helpful music production channels I’ve come across. Thank you for the great tutorials
😎😎😎 don't make me blush 🥳
its so funny because I was literally struggling on bridging two parts of this track im working on together LAST NIGHT, and you post this today
Boom! There ya go. Timing is interesting like that!

Right? I saw it too
This man is inspiring and has a good soul
I like how reverb is always the answer lol
basically he's telling us for 24 minutes to use reverb and reverse sounds

Love your work Nathan! I apply instantly nearly everything you suggest, AND IT WORKS
That's what I'm talking about!!
the last tip is really great!!!!
I can't find my mopey comment in the sea, but I did actually uninstall and reinstall and now the fade tool function works - for anyone suffering the same issue
Really nice reverse vocal reverb thingy. BOOM. Cheers mate.
Thank you so much for all the great tutorials 🙏🏼
For sure! Happy to do it
Your channel is a goldmine bro keep this stuff coming❤️❤️

Dude, you're awesome, happy to have just discovered your channel!
Thanks a bunch! I'm happy you found it too 😎
9:54 is gold. 😂. My boy tuned his voice real quick. Great content as usual brother.
😂 thanks man!
"Nothing replaces good writing or soul." You are very good with Logic tho.
Thanks Garret :)
Great tutorials!
Another OG adding value to the community! Only watched 2 of your vids but I trust you 100%
I find that a song that have poor transitions lose momentum and get boring. Transitions are so important, good video.
You make it fun. If only my friends could be as cool as you.
Keep sharing your next level workflow tips...... great work
your arrangement in #5 is so beautiful! You have a great ear !!
Appreciate that!
@@NathanJamesLarsen Nice song as well !

Awesome tricks I already use some of these but I also learned some new stuff too thanks
A most informative group of tips!
Thanks!! 🙏🙏🔥🔥
Sitting in the studio implementing some of these techniques.. Thank you bro!!!
Love the reverse stuff. Used to flip the 24 track over and reverse record to another track to do that. Late 70s…. (Pre MIDI)
Another awesome way to transition is to introduce an element (for example lead synth in a drop/chorus) by having it play a few beats before, basically adding a pre-melody. Drum fills work too!
_also, didn't you have like 10k subs a couple months ago? your channel grew up so fast and that's amazing!!! been subscribed since then_
Also very good! Yes for sure!!
And yeah the channel is on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 letsssss goooooo here we come 100k!!
